Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Portland, Oregon: Personalized Mental Health & Substance Use Care
Understanding Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our intensive outpatient program in Portland, Oregon, is designed to meet each patient where they are on their treatment and recovery journey. Learning how to heal from substance abuse and or mental health concerns starts with building practical coping skills for your daily lives. Through a comprehensive, evidence-based outpatient treatment program, you can access whole-person care in a supportive environment, guided by our compassionate clinicians, to develop a tailored treatment plan that meets your individual needs.
A Flexible Level of Care for Lasting Healing
Is IOP in Portland, Oregon, right for you? How do you know which level of care is right for you for sustained recovery and well-being? Understanding the similarities and differences between intensive outpatient programs, inpatient or residential treatment, and partial hospitalization programs (Day Treatment) can provide insight into the best level of care for you.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), many different types of treatment can support recovery. Some treatment providers offer services that focus on specific conditions, while others work to support multiple or co-occurring disorders. The terms "inpatient" and "residential treatment program" are often used interchangeably, but can also refer to slightly different types of treatment programs. Generally, inpatient care involves staying in a treatment center for a few days to several weeks. In contrast, in a residential treatment program, you live in a treatment center for a few weeks or months, and in many cases for a year or more.
Both inpatient and residential treatment focus on providing a higher level of care for patients in need of 24-hour supervision and support for substance abuse and mental illness. Unlike inpatient treatment programs, outpatient services such as Day Treatment, IOP, and outpatient care do not require around-the-clock care from clinicians. Listed below are some of the features of different levels of care for outpatient services:
Day Treatment (PHP)
- Step-down in care from inpatient and residential treatment
- A higher level of care than IOP and standard outpatient services
- Individual therapy sessions
